It is an underrated lens in my opinion! There is a boxed 2.5 version for $800 on the B&S, seems like a fantastic deal to me, and I am surprised no one has grabbed it yet. There is of course some confusion as to whether or not it is truly a different optical design from the 2.4 version... All's I know for sure is the that MFD is shorter on the 2.4 version, but I suppose that in itself could just be a change to the helicoid.

I had the 2.5 75 Summarit and it is a real gem. It shouldn't last long at 800.

Just trying to push me over the edge ... aren't ya.

I've been pondering this one, and watching your pics to gauge if I want to switch out from the Voigt.

75/1.5 Voigt in the bag now

2.5 = bang / buck
2.4 = closer MFD
2.0 = APO

APO.

I intended to sell the 2.5 and the CV 1.5 to fund the APO. I bought the APO, sold the 2.5, and held onto the 1.5 even though I hate its haptics. I love the APO but, honestly, either the 2.4 or the 2.5 would complement the 1.5 nicely.

As much as I covet both the 75 and 90 APO, there is certainly a penalty in the form of size, weight, and of course price.

I like how compact the Summarit is, takes very little space in the bag. But who am I kidding... I'll probably end up with an APO at some point!

I too had the VM 75/1.5, and although I found the IQ to be fantastic, I was not a fan of the size and haptics. And 58mm filters....? Although I did like that due to the design of the aperture ring, I could easily extrapolate what f/stop I was at while looking through the rangefinder!

In the meantime, I recently went even further as far as size & weight, and picked up a 90/4 Macro-Elmar that came up locally for a pretty good price. Again, very little space in the bag.
